Well.....everyone loves a good ending.
I got my truck back yesterday, after almost 4 weeks at the body shop, and it looks great. They even did a new spray on bed liner over the top of the old spray on liner. There was no damage to the frame which relieves me, but the rear axle did require realignment.
I picked up the 5er this morning and brought it home to get ready for our vacation trip starting next week. The tow home from the storage yard felt normal.
Amazing how something so seemingly minor in appearance could result in $8500 dollars damage. Reminds me of an accident my brother had with his Mustang GT 20 years back. Struck in an intersection by a fool that blew a red light. Insurance adjuster estimated $5200 dollars damage to my brother's car. It wound up being totaled.
Glad the shop did such a thorough inspection and repair, and everything worked out to your satisfaction. I love happy endings....
